The Laurens advertiser. (Laurens, S.C.) 1885-1973, 1887-06-15

Miss Lillian Caldwell, who has
been visiting in Pickens for some
time, has returned home.
Miss Floride Cunningham Of
Roscmont, has gone to Clam
Springs, where she will remain for
some time.
We had about come to the con-
clusi0n that there were no city faith
crs to look after tho interest Of the
town, and that IL was taking care
of itself. But III passing down the
street II can notice that there has
been something done on the street
in the way of work, especially II he
travelled them directly after the
mud had been thrown up. We
would suggest to our city fathers
that they give more work TO side
walks than to ditching, rs we think
the drainage is sufficient, provided
we have some place to walk, with
out going into the middle Of the
street.
Maj. J. r. Harris has commenced
threshing wheat and reports q bet
ter yield than was expected.
Mrs Kate Bolt, II young lady Nv
ing near here, was bitten on the
index finger soinc two weeks so,
by n rat while attending 10 her
household duties. She at first did
not pay any attention to ii, but
finally it began to give her such
cruciating pain that she had to call
q physician, and upon examination
he came to the conclusion that it
would have to be amputatcd, as it
had mortified to the second joint.
The operation was performed by
Drs. Harris and Coleman, and at
nst accounts she was doing we'll.
This is the first case we have ever
heard of where Il person was pOiS-
encd by a rat bite, though the doc
tors say that 1T is not impossible.
We had the pleasure OF attending
Il match game of ball between the
Cross Hill nine and the Cane Creek
club some time ago, which was
quite interesting 1T first and one
that we thought would be tight be-
tween them. But after the second
inning the Cross Hill boys began
to knock the ball and at the end Of
the ninth the score stood A to 1G in
favor of Cross Hill. Both clubs
played we'll and deserve credit.
We learn that they will play anoth-
or game to-day, Saturday, and have
q picnic dinner given by the Cane
Greek club, as they are not satisfied
with the way the game terminal
ed. We only wish them more sue
cess In their next undertaking.

pcrintendGnto of Education, will give

1t Is desired that every II who
